Robotic Insect Mimics Nature’s Extreme Moves
Professor KIM Ho-Young (left) and CHO Kyu Jin SNU researchers looked to water-strider insects to develop robots that jump off water’s surface The concept of walking on water might sound supernatural, but in fact it is a quite natural phenomenon. Many small living creatures leverage water’s surface tension to maneuver t...

New Protein Controls Pluripotent Embryonic Stem Cells
Professor BAEK Sung Hee Every mammal, including human beings, grows as an embryo divides into multiple cells and builds organs. Ability to differentiate comes from ‘pluripotent’ embryonic stem cells, which have the potential to develop into any types of cells or tissue depending on the specific type of signal or stimul...
